A second blow by Ukraine in exploding the “eternal bridge” connecting Russia to Crimea. No broadcasting, leaks, Signal posts, and timed to avoid civilian casualties unlike the invader striking apartments, schools and hospitals. Stealth, planning and making a strong statement!

The shame is most people don’t receive Yeats since the “classical” education requiring reading of ODPs has been “forgotten” in a social media environment where most posts have little life span beyond the immediate.

i don't even really know what to say to this utterly bizarre post

They use to require a drug test to get a security clearance and be employed in the federal government. But, if you buy a presidency, who cares? Certainly not the one who observed him standing over his shoulders in the Oval Office. Question is who knows if they were sharing?

You mean to tell me that the man who brandished a chainsaw during a speaking gig was taking too many drugs??

Jake Tapper's ratings are at their lowest point in a decade. This is what happens when you betray your audience in hopes you can sell some books to Trump supporters (a bad strategy since they won't read it and hated you to begin with)

nypost.comJake Tapper’s CNN show hits lowest ratings since 2015 despite Biden book buzz“The Lead with Jake Tapper” wasn’t the only CNN offering to struggle, as the network had its second-worst month ever in the demo across both total day and primetime during May.

If they are actually going to enforce deportations in FL at job sites then the construction industry in FL will grind to a halt. Until they can replace those employees with US-born workers willing to work outside in the summer in 100 degree heat & humidity. Should be no problem.

First he published his own bible, said the fake ear bandage was a sign, published a photo of him as pope and now a picture resembling a take on an evil angel looking for vengeance. Interesting how little he knows about faith, signs and symbols that are not egocentric and egomaniacal.

Lawrence O’Donnell: one of the last honest voices in journalism—smart, sharp, and always right about the law. While others were busy sane-washing Trump, Lawrence said it for ages: those tariffs were illegal. The U.S. Court of International Trade proved him right. Again. Truth matters.

If you voted for Trump, yes you DID vote to deport moms. Own it and fix yourself.

“No one voted to deport moms.” Trump supporters in MISSOURI have regrets after a beloved community member, mother of 3, was taken by Trump’s Gestapo. Sadly, they were warned this was never about gangs. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

Trump’s HHS is canceling a contract to develop an mRNA bird flu vaccine, even as the disease continues to spread through dairy cows across the U.S. Make no mistake: delaying the development of this vaccine puts people’s lives at risk.

A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated. Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

In his confirmation hearing, the Social Security head said he’d keep enough staff to ensure Americans would get their Social Security checks and get them on time. Just weeks into the job, he’s reportedly broken that promise. I said I’d hold him to it, and that’s what I’m doing.

huffpost.comElizabeth Warren Probes Staffing Shortage And Backlog At Social SecurityThe Social Security Administration has gotten behind on claims after letting thousands of workers go in a DOGE-driven purge.

Desperate to sell his book, however faux news is still faux news. No outrage whatsoever other than crass attempts to monetize a woe some excuse to gen up scandal. President Biden’s service and humanity is much more important than the stones cast against Tappers glass walls.

If this was a Watergate-level scandal how come Tapper waited over a year to make his findings public?

He should return his degree as a product of one. Hypocrisy reigns supreme.

This is how white supremacist narratives work. This claim has been litigated repeatedly and proven to be NOT TRUE. But they “feel it.” You can’t disprove it. The Lost Cause. Reverse Discrimination. Welfare Queens. The whole thing survives on myths. www.yahoo.com/news/vice-pr...
